Altia Walters works with people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression and life changes. She offers a calm, straightforward approach for those who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Altia's style aims to help people feel heard and find practical ways forward in day-to-day life.

Altia trained and practises as a counsellor and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years of professional experience. Before counselling she worked in senior management supporting women and families affected by domestic abuse, which shaped her focus on safety, coping and rebuilding confidence.

Background and approach

In sessions she adapts her methods to what each person needs. She uses client-centred work to follow the person's lead and build on strengths. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable goals.

Altia helps people dealing with grief, intimacy and relationship difficulties, family and parenting concerns, as well as stress and career pressures. She also supports those impacted by abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, domestic violence, immigration challenges and loneliness. People who meet her can expect practical conversations, gentle challenge and guidance on small steps to improve daily life.

Altia aims to empower people to regain confidence and move toward outcomes that matter to them.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. The counsellor reflects back, helps clarify feelings and builds on the person’s strengths to improve confidence and decision making. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thinking or behaviour, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the person and together decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.

Online therapy with Altia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations, phone can suit those who prefer not to be on camera, and chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when flexibility is needed. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life and other commitments, while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
